also from http://www.linux.com/howtos/DVD-Playback-H...tall.shtml#suse 3.5. SuSE The YaST package program included with SuSE works only with official packages, and there are no official packages that support DVD. Therefore you will have to install the packages for all of the DVD software manually. MPlayer and Xine packages for SuSE are available on the PackMan site. For MPlayer, you need the MPlayer, lzo, and xvid packages on that page as well as the "additionally needed binary packages" listed on the page for each package. SuSE 9.0 users should note that as of this writing the MPlayer package

your using suse.. ... you will need to install ether again.. a quick google search will tell you what you need to do.. SuSE are scared of all the licensing issues surrounding Multimedia codecs and DVD decoding and such. So they distribute an old version of Xine with old codecs. Download the SuSE 9.1 packages for xine from packman.links 2linux.org instead. Also install the MPlayer stuff from there too. http://packman.links2linux.org/index.php4?action=cat&cat=16

I forgot method 2... boot anylive cd.. mount the disk.. chroot to mount point.. example you mount you suse disk as /mnt/suse chroot /mnt/suse /bin/bash type passwd enter new root password.. reboot. you now have the root password

Its good you back up because all OS can loose data.. but this is a method I use on linux to make it simple.. I only back up my home partition.. Yes partition.. I keep /home as a partition.. that way any courption of Home or / will not kill the other. plus It easy to do a bit by bit inage and then dd the partition back from any systme even windows (rawwrite in windows). also My backups are smaller.. no need ot back up the OS . We have install disk for that .. and in Gentoo applications are only a emerge away. I do back up things like smb.conf, scane.conf and cups.conf.. I hate reconfiguering

?? you mean all you see is a html file when you view the disk... ??? try getting a dsl cd or another live linux cd and see if they boot. your system may not like linux boot partitions.. ..by the way ona new knoppix cd alls you should see in winders is a HTML file. but check how much disk space is used.. aroung 650 megs.. or more?? I have seen a lot of people say.."i'll try linux on an old machine.. but not all oldmachines can do ELToro boot partitions..

how many charaters are in your password. if its more than 8 try only using the first 8.. also try loging in as root. you should have made two passwords at install..

???? nothing in my instructions would have made your windows grow.. are you sure you were not reading FREE space of 3 gigs (like the partition you have now). since that is the main number windows gives?? your coudl alwyas back up yoru important windows stuff. whipe everything.. create new partitions and reinstall installing winders first.

for modems you would use KPPP for a KDE desktop, gnome under system tools or internet also has a dialer setup. if its a winmodem no linux is easy.. the modem was made for WINDOWS.... its willnot work (or may not work) with other OS becase it was made not to.. its hte modem not the OS.

"NTFS partition from linux since it's not native to the kernel" NTFS is native to the linux kernel.. it under /driver/ filessystems/ntfs,ntfs-read-only,ntfs-write,ntfs-secuerity I have found that when windows uses a ext2/3 drive there is lots of room for error just in the way MS handels file systems.. I had a power outage and MS wrote somthign to my ext3 partition that made it unreadable.. It a warning.. As I only have a single MS box at home (my MAME arcade and it also is my xbox tunnel to play online) I don't use any.. when I had a dual boot at work before VMWARE I had problems with the ext3

if your windows partition is almost full then it is using almost 7 gigs of space.. so no you can not make it smaller.. but you want to expand windows back to the rest of the drive.. right?? qtparted may also do that .. go back and make teh space after change the same as the whole disk.. sorry but winders can be a least 4 gigs with no extra software.. add anlmost any software like office or games and you are past 7 gigs.. It sounds like you need a new harddrive.. get a bigger one.. or use slackware or gentoo to get a smaller than 3 gig install.

yes .. remember .. windows can kill you ext partation as its is not Native to its kernel. Im using kdenlive http://kdenlive.sourceforge.net/.. shame ..shame ..shame.... .. good luck:)

under the windows go to managments (right click my computer) and disk managment.. see if you can span the disk.. as for 10 gigs as 7 it soudns liek you gave windows 3 gig and had 7 left over as free? correct.. that makes 10 gig..I do not see what went wrong.. unless you did not change the size when you told it to resize the windows partition.. I think 3 gig is default.. Sorry .. I did not think about warrning you to read the menu..

NA , I have a smartXX V2 chip and no dashboard replaced to put Xebian on. If I used the softmod then my menu item for Xbox live would be replaced with the boot linux option.. but that is not aginst the law as you are not using any software.. the menu is in a ini file ..its just changed.. while things like uix are dashboard replacments and *compiled* versions contain code from the XBDC from MS and is aginast the "copy" write laws to distribute.. as the agreement with the XBDC is you will not make any homebrew applications.. but you are correct.. if you changed the menu to boot linuxx and ran a

first what is codepage=850? and the only thing you are missing is unhide.. for winders disk.. adn do you really what programs to exec from cdrom??? wine does not need that option to run winders programs.... I see no reason for the umoutn to be nessary.. do you have the newest k3b? mine does nto have that problem... but it may be yoru cdbuffer locking up that is why disk at once works..

"You cannot go onto XboxLive after installing Linux" not 100% true... . putting linux has nothing to do with a dashboard (minus mechassult/007 hack) with a modchip (not aginst the law if you are not playing hacked games..... ) you can load linux on the + 8gig of the hard drive (if you have 10 gig or add another drive..) replacing the dashboard is aginst the law as all current dashboards were developed using the xbox development kit.. the opesource xbdc is not working yet so untill that day that part does break the law.. remeber Microsoft belives you should not eb alowed to open the Dell comp

on knoppix is a program called qtparted.. it will let you resize you r windoer partition.. steps.. boot winders... remove swap file (diffrent ways for each version of winders....... but normally disable virtual memory..) defrag winders (even if it says there is no need) boot knoppix.. at the command prompt type xhost + sudo su qtparted... see http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/ for more info on qtparted..... p0s qtparted can do almost anything partition magic can do... plus its free

just for giggles.. can you list your /etc/fstab we might fix it with out you having to eject.

it sounds like mandrake is automounting the cdrom after the burn.. on your desktop you will probaly see the cd after its burned.. one of two fixes.. tell k3b to eject cd after burning.. or right click the cd when it shows up on the desk top and do a eject..

Bill gates had windows crash on him twice duing his keynote speech at this years CES show.. see story. http://www.canada.com/technology/story.htm...7d-2e4fbfaf1329 intresting this story is not all over US web sites? why? Edited: Link disabled

also if you could post your dmesg from linux at a prompt type dmesg afterbooting and past it also how are you mounting your windows partition in fstab or manual .. if it automouts and you did not set it up post the /etc/fstab file then one of us can write of the format proceedure.

the very first link (the one to the drive has a read me file and the newest driver for mandrake 10. do not use the one from your cd it may not work with mandrake 10 as it uses a 2.6 kernel and the cd is for the 2.4 kernel the read me looks strait forwared enough. untill you get to permissions. let us knwo ehn you get to that point and well help you.. here it is again in case you are wondering http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df...ms&submit=Go%21 download this file http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df...Y&ProductID=977 use this read me ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-suppor

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df...ms&submit=Go%21 in case you don;t have the driver. as for maknig it dial you can use the command line echo "atd7777777" > /dev/modem (if simlinked) should work. (I think its been a while) or you can get minicom or kppp (should be under internet) I ma not sure at what stage you are having problems. so I included some articals .. I would like to see this work for you. so if you could .. Did you install a driver? if so does it show up linked when you do a lsmod? if so the dialing up is covered in some of the following ... if not let us knwo s

the question is not can you put linux in the xbox. linux willnot let you play pireted games. linux willnot play any xbox games at least nto until the xbox emulater id done. the only thing haveing linux will do is one you have to redo the bios. some bios will let your xbox read cdr's (again linux has nothing to do with this its a bios thing) I have linux on 4 xboxs I use for my myth tv front ends. http://www.anandtech.com/linux/showdoc.aspx?i=2271 see above for modchips. agin if your goal is to pirate Xbox games the Bios a bios chip or mod chip is your only way. linux on xbox faq http://

linux will not help you at all. .as a matter of principle they made sure that the bios you load with mechassult to put on linux will not let you to keep MS from shuting down their site. you need a mod chip see anandtech web page for infor on mod chips. you can turn your Xbox into a media center thought.
